The Gun Control Debate: Assumption, Generalization, and Emotion

7:00am Thursday, January 03, 2013
by Hal Baker A sad reality of life is that those who are hell bent on destruction will find a way to destroy. As a result, we are left sitting in the fog of confusion that always follows tragedy. Beyond the fog, there is always an uproar from the media, politicians, and a portion the general populace crying for the government to do more to protect us. Following 9/11, fear drove us to seek out and...

Gun owners are like most other people - we just want a safe society

3:00pm Wednesday, January 02, 2013
by Jeff Thomas Like all of you, the tragic mass killing at a Connecticut school made my heart sink. What people who seek gun control do not seem to realize is that we, as gun owners, want a safe community to live in and raise our families, a safe work environment, and safe schools for our children to learn. We are not crazy people, as the anti-gun crowd portrays us. We are fathers, mothers, Scout...

7:00am Wednesday, January 02, 2013
by Jeff Riley Several years ago, published at BuckeyeFirearms.org, I detailed the Brady Center for the Prevention of Gun Violence's call for banning "any ammunition that can penetrate ballistic armor" worn by law enforcement. This of course would ban almost any rifle ammunition used by big game and deer hunters in the United States. For years, gun-grabbers like the Brady Center have claimed that...

2012 - The Year In Review

7:00am Monday, December 31, 2012
By Chad D. Baus While there is far too much to cover in a single article, we reflect on some of the important events of 2012. January: The year begins with continued debate over whether or not Canton police officer Daniel Harless, who was caught on dash-cam video verbally assaulting and threatening to "execute" a concealed handgun licensee, deserved to be fired. Harless is terminated, and the...

Who Will Stand For Our Children? Voluntary Armed Parents in Schools

3:00pm Friday, December 28, 2012
by Ron Borsch INTRODUCTION AND DEFINING THE PROBLEM It is important for us to first understand the "Rapid Mass Murder"© problem, the most common motivation of these active killers, how we can reduce the copycat effect, ( http://www.lorencoleman.com/copycateffect/ ), as well as the number of these incidents and then look at the "Final Option" of armed intervention.

OOPS: In rant calling for magazine ban, NBC's David Gregory demonstrates why gun control laws don't work

7:00am Friday, December 28, 2012
by Chad D. Baus In the days since the latest horrific mass murder in a "no-guns" zone, the media onslaught has been relentless. Never mind that Connecticut already has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, including an "assault" weapons ban - the media say more such laws are what is needed. Never mind that guns were banned in the school where the attack took place - the media say...
